The Icelandic participating broadcaster, Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV), will organise the national final Söngvakeppnin 2025 in order to select its entry for the contest.

[2] However, Rúnar Freyr Gíslason, Iceland's head of delegation, has announced that RÚV postponed their decision as to whether they would participate.

[6] Söngvakeppnin 2025 is the national final organised by RÚV in order to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.

The shows will be presented by Benedikt Valsson, Fannar Sveinsson [is], and Guðrún Dís Emilsdóttir.

[8][9] On 20 September 2024, RÚV opened the period for interested songwriters to submit their entries, lasting until 13 October.

The first semi-final was opened by Icelandic hip-hop artist Aron Can, performing his songs "Monní" and "Poppstirni".

It was compiled by RÚV and was digitally released by Alda Music under the former's exclusive license on 17 January 2025.

The Söngvakeppninn board of directors sought advice from the Composers Rights Society of Iceland (STEF) to determine the similarity of the two songs.
